Practice, practice, practice! There too many web development technologies and frameworks out there for you to learn all of them. A full stack developer has to have a considerable number of technologies known like the back of their hand as opposed to other professionals who focus more on a specific area. There is no generic list but you should consider learning
1) A high level language say C++/Java/python
2) scripting languages
3) frameworks
4) at least 2 DBMS's
couple this learning with part-time work like others have already suggested. Along the way, as you find the areas that interest you, you'll find which technology is best suited and which ones are not.

Get a permanent IT job in a decent sized company.
There are lots of IT positions out there some of which you will have never of heard about and some that currently don't exist. Talk to people in different roles finding out what they do. Then and only then decide what you want to invest your time learning.

Looking to learn Web-development, anyone got any recommendations?
Hi all,
I'm a 23 year old graduate with a bit of experience in IT and I'm looking to start a career in website development. I'm currently in the research phase of trying to discover which skills are most valued, and where the best place to start is.
I have a very basic understanding of programming so I currently fall under the "beginner" umbrella.
My current plan is to start some basic self-learning with codecademy to see if this is for me before looking at undertaking courses.
Does anyone have any experiences to share with regards to learning, courses (online or in person) and any general advice?
